I think you are being too sensitive. When merlyn says, If you prompt to STDOUT, I think most people (OK I do) will read that as, If you print an interactive message to STDOUT, which is what was meant. Furthermore the phrase ...in general indicates a confused mind... does not say that Fastolfe in particular has a confused mind. It just says that this kind of mistake is symptomatic of a confused mind. Which it is. If you do not understand how <> differs from <STDIN>, that indicates confusion! Even worse, if you meant that you expect files in @ARGV to correctly hold responses to interactive commands in a script you are still changing, that indicates dangerous programming practices! All of which goes to say that even though I had let merlyn's post pass before, I voted ++ to counteract your -- because I thought your reasoning was not very good.
